Give me 3 words and I'll write a short story or poem using them. Please be sure to comment, I'd love to hear what you have to say! Check out the "About" page, or add to the "Feel Good List"

Sleepy, Ancestor, Dangle

Three new words this week! Hmmm, what do you think, a gothic tale about a duchess in a castle donning a gown for dinner with a brooch and dangling earrings? What about an exposé on the 4th dwarf, Sleepy! A haiku about our forefathers? What interesting tales can we come up with for the prompt this week? Hmmm! Anyone?

The wet noise between his lips made her eyes flicker open, too soon. Her pupils dilated at the sight of the waggling dangle of sputum, and she screamed. “Duncan! That’s disgusting!”
